      Well it’s the GOP, some something to do with being a Nazi I would imagine (not that that’s a great policy, just saying that pretty much their thing)

      I looked up his main platform goals.

      Destroying public education by abolishing the department of education and banning teacher unions. Disenfranchising young voters because they don’t lean conservative, and allowing blatant discrimination again by getting rid of all affirmative action laws.

      Oh yeah, the disenfranchising young voters would also implement a sort of literacy test.

      He also seems to really hate Lyndon Johnson, not for starting the Vietnam War, but for passing the civil rights act.

      He’s claimed (repeatedly) that black people were instantly fine after the civil war because they had the Second Amendment and guns, which is just wrong on every count.

      Vivek is a bit too brown skinned for the KKK, but he sure does love their policies.

      He’s got some other dogshit policy ideas, like solving climate change by burning more fossil fuels, and the standard right wing nonsense of banning speech he doesn’t like in the name of “fighting wokism”

      The entire campaign seems to be an attempt to funnel money from said campaign to himself, while also promoting his shitty book on how he loves capitalism so much that he wants to prevent companies from making cynical “woke” PR efforts that help them do a capitalism.
